Our home turf
Proud to call Santa Barbara/Ventura home.
Known as the 'American Riviera,' Santa Barbara pairs Spanish colonial architecture with a stunning coastline, while Ventura next door keeps things laid back and surf ready. Together they offer a Central Coast lifestyle that's equal parts elegance and ease.
Your Santa Barbara and Ventura owners are part of the community, shopping the farmers' market, walking the beach, and building backyards for the families who make this stretch of coastline so special. For them, every pool is a chance to add to the beauty they get to call home.
A pool is so much more than a pool. It adds lasting value to your home, your family, and your lifestyle. It's where summer birthdays become core memories, where the kids burn off energy after school, and where you unwind with a glass of wine as the string lights flicker on. California Pools of Santa Barbara/Ventura makes the whole process easy, from the first design sketch and free consultation to the day you dive in and start relaxing. Our local experts are here to guide you every step of the way, making the decisions straightforward, understandable, and genuinely enjoyable. When your builder lives down the street and is proud to call Santa Barbara/Ventura home, every backyard becomes a personal point of pride.

What our Santa Barbara/Ventura clients say.
“The team was very responsive and a super effective resource when designing our pool. Even better, the end product is near perfect and so well-built. With an investment of this magnitude I am so happy that I went with such a respected and reputable builder as California Pools.”
“We had an excellent experience with California Pools, from our first meeting with Myles to the final orientation with Adan. Myles and his team developed a thoughtful pool design that perfectly reflected our needs and preferences. He provided invaluable guidance as we navigated the many design and material decisions, making what could have been a daunting process easy and enjoyable. Their showroom in Ventura offered an impressive selection of quality materials, and with Myles’ help we chose options we absolutely love. Adan was an outstanding project manager who kept the project on schedule and clearly communicated any minor adjustments along the way. He was exceptionally responsive to our questions and concerns, ensuring the process was smooth from start to finish. The work crews were professional, reliable, and respectful - we felt completely comfortable having them around our home and family. We highly recommend California Pools to anyone considering a pool project. Their professionalism, quality, and reputation have made them the go-to pool company in our neighborhood, and our experience confirmed why. The project finished on schedule and on budget.”
“We retained California Pools to remodel our very outdated pool. We had grand ideas and what I loved about Mike and the company was their genuine guidance and advice on what would be worthwhile and what would be a waste of money. They could have quite easily gone along with everything we asked and just took the $$$. When we started the project our PM was Dan and he was awesome. He came over to introduce himself, always kept us up to speed on the process and was always available for questions. We may have traded one or two Treager tips along the way also! The pool turned out amazing and we are extremely happy. If you are considering a pool remodel, I highly recommend California Pools and all the team involved.”
